Buying a Home in the Seattle Market is Not Like Ping Pong.

I was never good at ping-pong.
I would often serve too low, sending the ball straight into the net, or more often, overestimating my strength skill and missing the table altogether with an overly aggressive return.
For more than 24 years I have been representing home buyers and sellers throughout King & Pierce Counties, and I'm always surprised when a buyer wants to write an unrealistically low offer.
The fact of the matter is, many Seattle … (1 comments)
